Others have already mentioned other cloud storage options, which are good because they both synchronize your writing and also give you a backup in case something goes wrong.
If you already have a backup solution, you could consider syncthing. It keeps folders on several different devices up to date without storing a copy in the cloud somewhere. It's free but takes some setting up
You could also compress your files into a zip, add a password, and then store it in google drive. You can't do online writing and it'd be a hassle to re-encrypt them each time you make a change but google wouldn't be able to scan your docs and you could restore your writing if something goes wrong on your local computer
